Not sticking up for Bruce here but a new manager can work wonders. Bruce got 9 points from his first 5 games in charge, seems supporters have short memories though.
Have to say I don't really see the need for this thread... Leave the poor bloke alone he tried his best lol!
Wagner tried his best on the X Factor, but if I never see him again wont bother me in the least. Oh and Wagners tactics were **** too.
BRUCE stands in technical area and does absolutely bog all like a block of geordie lard,SIR MARTIN O,NEIL stands in technical area and actually does things
Years ago it used to be said that Sunderland supporters didnt just want to see their team win...They wanted to see the opposition hammered into the ground....killed... and the nails hammered into the coffin of the teams theyd just demolished with big hammers used by the riverters on the Wear...Teams were always called "Mighty" Sunderland...Its where the origin of the Roker Roar came from.....Outrage that somebody else dared step onto our hallowed turf......little bits of stuff now coming out are just demonstrations of whats been missing...its called passion Looks to me as though a bit of its come back...as if woken from a deep sleep....You`re right I think its right we should enjoy the win...Its also natural to lash out metaphorically in a moment of extacy at the perceived reasons of its absence .....Many folk will tell you of the raw Roker Roar....miss Roker Park.....its not about Bruce.....its about the absence of the chance to have an open throat roaring to finish off the opposition who dare set foot on our ground..... God its great to win again properly..........
Wasnt it Bruce that was at the helm when we beat Man City 1-0 in the 90th minute last season 29th August 2010 with a Bent Pen.
Remember the good and bad days in the Roker End .Did you know the Fulwell end was actually originally called the Kop best night of my life was beating Man City on our cup run Saw every match in Every round and was physically sick after the final.
Flair play to BOTH lads. Neither has tried any less or more to win than the other. One might appear to have more tactical nous but leave SB alone or has all the New Yearâs goodwill now gone.
I was a Steve Bruce supporter right up until the last game when I just could not understand his subsitutions. With Martin O'Neill I just feel we have a plan B. I am not trying to start off another Bruce hate campaign - more stating the obvious
Fair play to MON as it worked but who in their right mind would have said. Gardner RB Killgallon CB Elmo coming on as a sub would beat Man City If Bruce had done that, he would have got lambasted (i know with injuries we dont have much else, but just saying if it was Bruce he would have got lambasted on here) as its MON he is somekind of god. I have nothing against MON, I think he will be great for us, but putting Bruce down even more just pisses me off a bit lol hes gone, not everything was his fault but he has gone so meh.
Seem to remember Johnson scoring a 96th minute equaliser into top corner of our net, you one of those that leaves early?
